Origin & Sourcing
Matale, Sri Lanka
While some say that cloves were introduced into Sri Lanka by European colonists in the 1500s, the oldest cloves in existence were reportedly discovered at an ancient port on the island dating back to 200 B.C. Our farmer’s clove grove was planted by his grandfather in the Sri Lankan central highlands city of Matale in the early 1970s. As a third-generation farmer, he harvests these sturdy evergreen trees, naturally fertilized by pollen from the surrounding tropical forest, when the clove buds are on the precipice of blooming, signaling optimum flavor and aroma. The harvest—inspected by hand to remove any buds that have sprouted—is then dried in the tropical sun to achieve its woodsy texture and aroma.

Tips for Success
Cooking tips from our chefs
You can use this spice whole to infuse into a dish but not advised to eat whole like other whole spice seeds. The flavor compounds in cloves dissolve into oil and not water. Use this spice early in the dish to mellow out some of the bitter flavors. Cloves are often used with other warm spices to bring out the sweetness.

Do spices lose their flavor after the "Best by" date?
Don’t worry if your spices are past their best-by date. When sealed, our spices maintain their quality for about 3 years. After opening, they remain flavorful for an additional 2-3 years if stored properly. While the best-by date indicates peak freshness, our spices still deliver great flavor and are safe to use well beyond that date.
